Bandai Bridge is a historic landmark in Niigata City, crossing the Shinano River with its distinctive six-arch design. Completed in 1929, it replaced an earlier wooden bridge and became a symbol of the city's resilience after a major fire. Visitors can walk or cycle across the bridge, enjoying panoramic views of the river and the cityscape. At night, the bridge is illuminated, creating a romantic atmosphere. It connects the bustling downtown area with the waterfront, making it a central point for exploration.
